Following the Treaty of Versailles the newly-formed League of Nations granted the victorious Allies mandates over the colonies they had conquered from the Germans. South West Africa was designated a Class C Mandate—to be administered as an integral territory—and assigned to South Africa in December 1920. The other former German territories in Africa were designated as Class B Mandates—to be administered with regard to local culture and religion—and assigned to Britain, France, and Belgium in July 1922.
